Before Use (Continued)

Precautions

Handling the unit

When shipping the unit

The original shipping carton and packing materials come in handy. For maximum protection, re-pack the unit as it was originally packaged at the factory.

When setting up the unit

The picture and sound of a nearby TV, VCR, or radio may be distorted during playback. In this case, position the unit away from the TV, VCR, or radio, or turn off the unit after removing the disc.

To keep the surface clean

Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide spray, near the unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with the unit for a long period of time. They will leave marks on the surface.

Cleaning the unit

To clean the cabinet

Use a soft, dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine, or thinner, as these might damage the surface of the unit.

To obtain a clear picture

The DVD+VCR is a high-tech, precision device. If the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn, the picture quality will be poor. Regular inspection and maintenance are recommended after every 1,000 hours of use. (This depends on the operating environment.) For details, please contact your nearest dealer.

Notes on Discs

Handling discs

Do not touch the playback side of the disc. Hold the disc by the edges so that fingerprints will not get on the surface. Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.

Storing discs

After playing, store the disc in its case. Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources of heat, or leave it in a parked car exposed to direct sunlight, as there may be a considerable temperature increase inside the car.

Cleaning discs

Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause poor picture quality and sound distortion. Before playing, clean the disc with a clean cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out.

Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for older vinyl records.



Do not connect your DVD+VCR via your VCR. The DVD image could be distorted by the copy protection system.

Connecting Antenna/Cable TV to DVD+VCR

Disconnect the antenna leads from the rear of your TV.

Identify the type of cable from your antenna. If it is a round cable as illustrated, it is a 75 ohm coaxial antenna cable. This cable will connect directly to the jack marked ANT.IN on your DVD+VCR.

If your antenna lead wire is a flat type antenna cable, connect it to a 300-ohm to 75-ohm Antenna Adapter (not supplied), and slip the Adapter onto the ANT.IN jack. The Adapter does not screw on to the DVD+VCR, it just slips over the jack.

Without Cable Box

If your cable wire is connected to your TV without a converter or descrambler box, unscrew the wire from your TV and attach it to the ANT.IN jack on the DVD+VCR. Use the supplied coaxial cable to connect between the DVD+VCR’s RF.OUT jack and the 75 ohm antenna input jack on the TV. With this connection, you can receive all midband, super band, and hyperband channels.

Notes on MP3 Discs

About MP3



An MP3 file is audio data compressed using the MPEG1, audio layer 3 file-coding scheme. Files with the .mp3 file extension are called MP3 files.



The DVD+VCR cannot read an MP3 file that has a file extension other than .mp3.



The DVD+VCR cannot read a fake MP3 file that has a file extension .mp3.

MP3 disc compatibility with this DVD+VCR is limited as follows:

1. Sampling Frequency: 44.1kHz only

2. Bit rate: 32 - 320kbps.

3. CD-R physical format should be ISO 9660.

4. If you record MP3 files using software which cannot

create a FILE SYSTEM, for example Direct-CD etc., it is impossible to play back MP3 files. It is therefore recommended that you use Easy-CD Creator, which creates an ISO9660 file system.

5. A single session disc requires MP3 files in the first

track. If there is no MP3 file in the first track, the unit cannot play back MP3 files. If you wish to play back MP3 files, format all the data on the disc or use a new one. This player can play CD-DA Multi-session discs. But, playability cannot be guaranteed for all other Multi-session discs.

6. File names should be named using 8 or fewer letters

and must incorporate the .mp3 extension e.g. “********.mp3”.

7. Do not use special characters, such as

“_?!><+*}{`[@ ]:;\/.,” etc.

8. The total number of files on the disc should be 200

or less. If a disc contains more than 200 files, the files numbered 201 or above cannot be displayed or played back.

9. Use 74 minute CD-R discs (650M). Do not use 80

minute CD-R (700M) software.

The DVD+VCR requires discs/recordings to meet certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to these standards. There are many different types of recordable disc formats (including CD-Rs containing MP3 files).

Customers should also note that permission is required in order to download MP3 files and music from the Internet. Our company has no right to grant such permission. Permission should always be sought from the copyright owner.
